ICYMI: The Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville and the city recognized 60 artists who each received $10,000 grants through the first-ever Individual Artists Grant Pilot Program. The program is designed to assist practicing, professional artists in any medium or discipline residing in Duval County, and includes creative entrepreneurs and cultural workers who work directly, primarily and to the benefit of individual artists such as curators, producers, and presenters. Awardees will also receive coaching and professional development training through September 30, 2025. "We must support individual artists so that they can live in Jacksonville and pursue their creative endeavors," said Mayor Donna Deegan. "Our hope is that the Artist Grant program creates an ecosystem for growth that will encourage Jacksonville-based artists to stay, and new artists to come to the city.” We cannot wait to see, hear, and experience what you will do with these funds - Congratulations!
